Dear Klaus,
I suggest 'evidence' comprises the combination of the data and the discourse of reasoning explaining why that data implies the truth or otherwise of statements, propositions, and predictions.
When someone makes the argument critiquing the use of data in the proof of a statement, they are challenging the explanatory reasoning, not the data.
Often this central role of the reasoning is overlooked. It then leads to a theory mess about the question of 'what is evidence?'.
I suggest it is a mistake to conflate data and evidence.
David's comments highlight the role of reasoning when he commented that evidence is what data CRI and their clients choose. This puts the reasoning to the fore with the actual data used and how it is used dependent on that reasoning.
Warm regards,
Terry

in my view
statements, propositions, and predictions can be true or false but evidence, the quality of data backing up or matching what a proposition claims, can hardly be false.
beliefs can be couched in terms of statements, propositions, or predictions which can be true or false. but if you can provide evidence for beliefs then they are true.
of course you can always question the truth of statements, propositions, or predictions by providing evidence to disprove them.

Terry,
I was with you till the paragraph I included above. Then my brain missed the left turn at Albuquerque. Could you expand on this a bit?
